i was thnking about polishing the top ike yours and doing the letters in blue.

your breather
is that one from the rocker to the tank and one from the block to the tank? just im thinking about adding one but dont know anythink about them or fitting one????

Hoogi · 26-08-2009, 10:14 AM

Love it.............and I think that's because it's different

At first didn't like the look of the wheels and thought it'll be too bling.

I was wrong wasn't I

Looked at this colour a good while ago but it wasn't available as Ford wouldn't release the colour code until the RS Focus was released.........very nice.

RETRO_AL_ · 26-08-2009, 11:05 PM

Breather kit is a baileys one,dead easy to fit even comes with instructions,of course you need to get the outlet fitted to your camcover, im pretty sure the kit comes with the tube aswell

andy escos · 12-09-2009, 05:09 PM

warning

hi fostersice i just noticed that your top mounts are up side down the raised bit is supposed to be on the top as that is where the strength is the flat bit that you have at the top is the side the bearing is pushed in & only held in with a circlip it is not meant to take the weight of the car please turn them over fella.ps top car love it.

doctor stavros · 20-09-2009, 11:29 AM

Mate, I cannot get into words how good i think this car is, and I cannot wait to see it done.The strange thing is, for such an old car, that a lot of the subtle touches you have added really bring it up to a modern look

Top work
